I think it varies from store to store as well in the of discounts
Went to a BWS tonight and VC La grand dame 06 was $227 (down about $50)
Not much else there
Krug 00 and Boll & Cie Grand Cru are great briochy wines. Can also try Charles Heidsiek Vintage or some Vintage Jacques Selosse if you can get your hands on it.
I was at the Melbourne event which was very nicely done, although it was on a Monday evening.
My advice is to go through the list of houses and make a list of what you would like to try as there are simply too many to try at a comfortable pace.
Restaurant Plage in Cremorne, Sydney is a great french-japanese restaurant that allows BYO at $6/$12 per bottle depending on the day of the week.
Restaurant plage - Contemporary Australian Restaurant
Excellent fine dining food for a great price as its a local restaurant
I wouldnt call it insider information as everyone in the industry knows about it. Sorry to have offended any Tyson fans here.
Yes Halliday has his own agenda as well and your winery would need him as a 'consultant' on some things before some nice scores get written up
Every one has their own...
